"Yongeun Jeon"/Lotus Roots Pancake /莲藕煎饼 /연근전

There are many kinds of Jeon available in Korea,such as kimchi jeon(김치전, made with kimchi), pajeon(파전,made with green onion),gamjajeon(감자전,made with grated potato), etc.

Today, I am going to use lotus roots as main ingredient for making " Yongeun Jeon"/Lotus Roots Pancake/莲藕煎饼/연근전.

在韩国有不同种类的煎饼，例如 ：泡菜煎饼，青葱煎饼，马铃薯煎饼等。 今天，我是采用莲藕为主要的材料来做“莲藕煎饼。。。。

Jeon is made with various ingredients such as sliced meats, poultry, seafood, and vegetables depending on the style and mixed with flour batter or coated with egg batter and then pan-fried with oil.Jeon is commonly eaten as an appetizer, as banchan (small side dishes), or as anju (food to eat while drinking). Jeon is also served as an important food for jesasang (제사상, 祭祀床, ceremonial table setting for jesa, ancestor worship) and janchi (hangul: 잔치, feast, or festival). The jeon used for jesa is called gannap (hangul: 간납, hanja: 干納 or 肝納) or gannam (hangul: 간남, hanja: 肝南) which is made with beef liver, omasum, or fish along with vegetables and green onions on a skewer.Jeon are sometimes eaten as a sweet dessert; one such variety is called hwajeon (literally "flower jeon").Bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), pajeon (green onion pancake), and kimchijeon are popular jeon in South Korea. The jeon name commonly follows its main ingredient.（source: wikipedia)
